In the 2021-22 Sail GP series the Brits collided with Japs causing serious damage to one of the hulls and the shore teams banded together to get them back in the water for racing the next day. That series has all teams sharing information such that the field is kept even and it’s tactics that allows one to win. As for fairies, no but Gremlins are something else!!

Matchplan from now on: Team Malizia (or Biotherm) wins Leg 7 so that Holcim gets only 4 points or less. Guyot helps 11th Hour reparing their boat and 11th Hour rejoyns Leg 7, gets 4th place/2 points. And 11th Hour is Winner over all in the end because of In-Port Score. Would be so cool! I hope the best for all of them! almost all of them ;)

I experienced exactly the same condition as 11 hr before they got hit. I was a the rudder as a teenager 3-ton boat. I turned left to avoid crash. My dad threw at the rudder to turn sharply right to lessen the force as we could have a contact in the same direction of two objects. Close call we avoided a crash and raised a protest. Avoid contact at all cost even if one has right of way!!! Charlie had angel guard indeed that he didn’t get crushed by Guyot and the recoil of the boom.

So very sorry for both teams! Would have been great to have all boats in the final leg. Best of luck for Eleventh hour racing team to join the race!

this will undoubtedly dispirit all teams but hopefully those still racing will find it within themselves not to be destracted. My heart sank.

Analysis: 1. No crew on bow on Guyot to call for helm who is unsighted. 2. Helm on Guyot lost count of boats ahead so missed possibility 11th was in hazard - cognitive overload when considering swing point for lay line? 3. 11th identifies the risk via crew on bow and then luffs up to try and give space for Guyot to tack, in event wrong decision, the lost boat speed probably results in collision rather than a very close near miss had they held course and speed.

the fact that only the helmsman cn see whats going on is crazy

I just saw on Twitter that onboard Guyot one calmly filmed the approach till the collision instead of yelling at the helmsman. Or must the observer keep his mouth shut? If so why was this person the only one on deck? In such a course someone has to stay at the bow to inform the helmsman, I think.

Re start the leg in 48 hours' for all boats, gutted 😢 11 hour should be time compensated at end of leg to allow for repairs,

This situation where the starboard boat turns up and the port boat bears down and hits the starboard boat in the stern is something I have been in, witnessed in person, and seen on video. I have also avoided it as the starboard boat by turning down instead of up because the then the stern moves away instead of toward the port tack boat. Just a hard thing to be in and seems like a subtle/tricky solution, but it's there.

It's a classic mistake. Unfortunately I have also done this, once, trying to bear away too late while the other boat luffed.

But this incident shows how little the helmsmen on these boats actually see of the world around them!

Inexcusable collision! With so much at stake for this final leg, there is sadly no fair solution. Canceling start, postponing restart to allow the two boats to perform necessary repairs would unjustly penalize the three leaders. Collisions in racing, wether intentional or not is why I gave up racing yachts over 20 years ago! Very sad turn of events and my heart goes out to 11th Hour team. I expect both damaged boats to perform necessary repairs and set course for Italy and complete this final leg.

What were they playing at? It’s so bad it almost looks deliberate? Firstly they should have tacked away to lay the mark but continued on with no right of way. Then they failed to bear away under 11th Hour’s stern. With a foil sticking out, the bear away must be even stronger to avoid any contact yet they simply continued on their merry way. 11th hour were completely in the right and have been dealt a very poor hand.

The PR guys got in the way of the sailors, it seems

This is why they need more boats. The race is rubbish with just 5 let’s be honest

the Formal way, would be, to protest the opponent and requesting for redress. Redress would usually be a average score of the past races and that wouldn't be to bad, tbh. Haven't studied the Sailing instruction, but i see no reason why 11 hours shouldn't get redress.

this is just so sad overall :(

How could you not see that boat ? It is not that it is small... On the port tack - they need to be double observant .... Who was on watch ? .... This is plain stupidity

#7 seems not so lucky number , isn't ?

The question is : will "11th hour" receive a time compensation for a collision they aren't responsible for ? We will retain that Guyot adventure in this Ocean race is a real nightmare.... everything, absolutely everything went wrong. Bumping a concurrent, moreover the leader and the expected final winner is just "terrible" Benjamin Dutreux is still a young sailor as his german team mates, in fact his experience on IMOCA foiler (for the last VDG Benjamin ran a "daggerboard" IMOCA, not a foiler) is quite recent, Benjamin is not comparable to Kevin, Boris, or Paul. This team showed a lack of experience that cost a lot to the team and to the race. Most of time, breaking a mast IS NOT a simple mechanical failure as alledged falsy by Kevin, most of time breaking a mast is a consequence of a previous mistake. Holcim PRB ran like a perfect swiss watch the first 3 steps (except bad performances in in-port races), things began to go wrong when Holcim team decided to change almost all the crew, and the result has been IMMEDIATELY catastrophic, suddenly they broke a mast at an unexpected moment (everyone expected to break a mast most likely in the southern, not in the atlantic). Biotherm had also changed almost all his crew and had been close to make comparable fatal mistake on the same leg BUT, it seems that Paul Meilhat did take into account that his team was unexperimented, and so he decided to slow down a lot to preserve the boat. For Holcim this was quite different... as for "11th hour" and "Team Malizia", Kevin was here to win the more he could, so in fact he pushed the boat far more than Paul Meilhat.... completely forgetting that his new team was lacking some experience compared to the previous leg, this has been fatal.... he broke a mast, this is not a question of fortune/misfortune, this is a consequence of bad decisions. Niall the usual commentator had underlined himself the risks linked to such massive changes in a team.... Holcim, after winning 3 legs in a row, seemed to get overconfident at this moment, ignoring such basic considerations. For Biotherm, this is different. The team has never played the final "win". Due to the fact that they were not technically ready, the boat being brand new, only six months at the start of Ocean race, compared to the other teams. So the main point was not performance but rather to show as much possible some possible future talented women (Biotherm being a division of l'Oreal, making cosmetics mainly for women. As a reminder, Biotherm has been the sponsor of missing Florence Arthaud well known by thoses who know a little on offshore race). On an IMOCA you pay immediately any "big" mistake because the increased speed compared to a VO65 increases the damages, in a VO65 you can make more "big" mistakes before a fatal issue. On an IMOCA due to a very short crew, only 4 sailors, changing a member with a less experimented one MAKES IMMEDIATLELY huge differences. "11th hour" and "Team Malizia" did have a different management, they always kept from leg to leg a core basis of well established sailors, they just changed one member not more. On an IMOCA a team mate IS NOT SPECIALIZED as on a VO65 or Americas' cup. On an IMOCA all sailor must be able to do everything due to the fact that IMOCA is run in "duo" (so, as said by Charlie Dalin, this is far closer to the french solo race than british fully crewed race).... because the two others are generally sleeping. This is much harder to find the good team mates than in a VO65 because being a good sailor on IMOCA requires multiple skills and especially clerveness. On an America's cup boat, being a grinder doesn't require to be clever. You just have to comply exactly with a process decided by the skipper, you just do as Forrest Gump, but "grind" instead of "run", no need to understand meteo, Adrena sailing management software, multiple sensors data and alarms (all being rather automatically managed by calculators on an AC75), foil settings... In offshore sailling with short crew, this is absolutely not the same thing. From many aspects IMOCA are more complex than a AC75, because you just ask to an AC75 to do a very short coastal races (and in fact that matches more an in-port race as we see in an Ocean race than real coastal races as Ocean Race Europe) in a very restricted range of meteo condition, an IMOCA must run everywhere on the globe under every kind of condition. But IMOCA learned a lot of America's cup. "Wing mast profile" rotating on a ball bearing had been invented by a french engineer for the Larry Ellison's Oracle America's cup catamaran. Auric main sail, old concept coming from very old ages, that authorizes a greater sail area, also originated from America's cup who revived the concept thanks to modern carbon fiber that authorizes a rigid and ultra light "gaff" on the top of the main sail. Foils come indirectly from America's cup, because the source of modern foils, the first REALLY WORKING, and not the many various prototypes and attempts more or less working on a sailboat (foils having been in fact successfully experimented some years ago in the 60's on a US military patrol boat prototype), is the famous Hydroptere catamaran who impressed Larry Ellison (CEO of Oracle Corp) more than the french themselves who quickly forgot it. Hydroptere being the spirit of the future America's cup catamaran AC50 class. Hydroptere reached 51,36 knots back in 2009. Hydroptere is the real birth date of hydrofoil applied to sailboat because this is the first project ever where renowed engineers coming from major aeronautic companies (Dassault and Airbus) rationally modelized the "fly" applied to a sailboat, flying rules being the same as known in aeronautic. Theses engineers have been able to use the powerfull computer and software tools from their companies to do a rigorous job, this had never been really done before. All previous attempts were only "some hacks" not really working most of the time. Foiling concept for sailboat is in fact a very old dream. People tried to make fly boat in the early ages of navigation, but with no success as a superb Leonard de Vinci futuristic machine draw that in fact has never proved to be ever a slightest valid concept. This is the reason why Airbus, a european company, is from long time a prime partner of New-York based America's cup syndicate, because historically Airbus along with Dassault can be indirectly considered as the fathers of modern hydrofoils modelized for sailboat (and not for motorized ship where things are in fact easier as long as you have a very powerffull propulsion source, so it is not so difficult to "foil" in such condition. Foiling, but only with natural wind, this is another problem). "indirectly" because these were originally engineers from Airbus and Dassault who just loved sailing during their hobbies, some of them were even retired, and they first worked on this matter as an hobby to help Hydroptere project. When Hydroptere later grew up more consistently, thanks to the free contribution of theses engineers who proved the concept of foiling sailboat, Airbus (but not Dassault) took an official part of the project along with DCNS (today Naval Group the french military shiypyard currently world leader). On the last two legs, "11th hour" made critical choices by integrating Charlie Dalin and after Franck Cammas. For those who know really what is the offshore sailing.... these guys are simply two BIG stars and the result has been very very very clear.... "11th hour" won the last two legs leading almost all the time, compared to previous legs where "11th hour" was always trying to catch up the lead. For next ocean races I don't want to see so much improvisation : - first : only experimented skipper because as boats are pushed a lot, the risk to break is in fact much higher than in a solo VDG where "alone" the sailor takes very few risks compared to an Ocean Race. - second : wise management of the teams, as done by "11th hour" and "Team Malizi", changing 1 team member from leg to leg, but not more. If for some reasons we must change two members, so we must chose ONE VERY VERY EXPERIMENTED on IMOCA foiler, with possibly one newbie BUT NOT TWO NEWBIES !!!! This is the reason why, following an injury, Boris chose Yann Elies to replace him because Yann is a senior sailor knowing very well IMOCA.

I get more and more the feeling that guyot is kind of a team of dösbaddels

Mālama get hurt !!!

Very unfortunate episode

Hate to say it but that sure looked like it was on purpose. The way and where they hit them they couldn’t be making a turn around the bouie.

I know that cycling and sailing are different.....but...In the Tour de France if the race leader goes down in a crash, the rest of the peleton, and especially the other contenders, sit up and wait for the race leader to get back on the road and catch up. It's not a rule that they do so. It's simple sportsmanship, and the desire to win a race based on performance, not a rival's bad luck. It is considered very bad form to attack when the race leader is incapacitated, especially if it was not their fault. The same should hold true here. 11th Hour was damaged due to the bad judgement of another boat's crew. The race should be neutralized and restarted after 11th Hour fixes their boat. It's the only sportsman-like solution. And if I were the skipper of Holcim, as soon as I learned that 11th Hour was holed, I would have turned back to port.

Untrue BS. In cycling only some teams/riders wait. Some others always attack. Like Quickstep. There is no rule for this. What is the diff with breaking the mast anyway?

@caskraker The obvious difference is that 11th Hour was holed by another boat. No fault of theirs or their equipment.

@@caskraker Not the same thing at all. Hitting something is your fault, and a navigational error. 11th Hour was hit, they didn't hit anything. And they are the race leaders for a race that spans months and tens of thousands of miles. Surely, you see the difference.

@@MikeK02048 Hitting something is almost never a fault. Just unlucky. Same here. You are just biased and not thinking clearly. For me, I don’t care who wins. It is a lame and unworthy edition of the Ocean Race anyway. But stating the others should stop and wait is completely off. Although it would suit this crap edition if 11th hour got some crazy compensation points and were announced winners.

Was that on purpose? Last place takes out first?

Of course not [on purpose]. Guyot is clearly at fault here, but responsibility and intent are different things. 11th hour were occluded by Guyot’s sails, and Guyot failed to check their blind spot.

@@jweitzenheimer I mean Guyot’s *own* sails creating the blind spot for Guyot’s helmsman. 11th hour had nothing to do with it, they’re completely in the right and nobody has suggested otherwise. That includes Guyot who have immediately acknowledged full responsibility.

They should have suspended and postponed the leg. Terrible decision to have the leading team lose the race through a crash that wasn’t their fault. It would have been easy with the boats so close to The Hague to delay.

Life is cruel, 11th Hr could of avoided the collision & then protested Guyote, read the rules even when you have right of way you should make every effort to avoide a collision. Why suspend the race it's not F1 or Moto GP. the course is clear & open to race.

@chantalrubino337 I agree in principal however 11th hour has right of way and these are professional sailors. Charlie enright- the skipper of 11th hour would’ve expected guyot to keep clear and the manoeuvrability of the imoca’s isn’t great so by the time he realised guyot was keeping their course, it was too late.
